Alto

Elegant, sleek, and versatile… Choosing Alto is music to our ears!

The Alto seat provides a light appearance as well as comfort and postural support. At a distance, Alto seating creates a visually stunning block of upholstery and timber. This combination adds a simplistic, modernity to any venue.

Remember, these product models are for your reference only. We provide bespoke seating solutions, so while we use these models to form the basis of the seat, they are completely customised to suit your requirements and 100% unique to you.
